Thank you for choosing Just Answer. I would be happy to assist today with your question.

Give me just a moment while I review the information provided.

Before we begin, I would like to explain how the site works if this is your first visit here. The page you are viewing offers ads for things like secure desktop connection and a phone call. These are not asked by me and I will explain in our conversation if doing one of those things would help make troubleshooting easier. If you request to do either one, I would be happy to do it with you regardless.

If you are prompted during our conversation to rate me, it is as simple as choosing between 5 stars at the top right corner about my service today. Hopefully, I will earn 5 stars today. It is the only way I receive credit for helping you today.

Some things we work on may not easily be resolved with the given resources (such as needing additional media or hardware issues that require replacement). Please understand I will try my hardest to resolve the issue or answer any questions but some things are out of my control.

Finally, make sure to bookmark this page so you can easily come back to this page. If we are working on this issue and you need to step away, you can always leave me a message on this question. I will respond as soon as I can if I am not online. I check periodically throughout the day if not during my normal business hours.

It does not appear you are still online. If you view this question at a later time, please make sure to quickly rate me at the top right corner (hopefully 5 stars!) I am not sure what type of phone this is so I will provide all my instructions that I currently have. If you have any problems rating me, please let me know you received this message with a "thank you" or "this helped!"

If your phone has a Prepaid Menu or is a Nokia 6790 or Nokia E71, follow these steps to Setup your Voicemail:

From the main screen, press and hold the number 1. Your phone will automatically call your voicemail box. Once the call is connected, follow the instructions.

If your phone model is an Android, follow these steps:

From the main screen, tap the "Phone" tab.

Tap the "Voicemail" icon at the bottom of the screen. Your phone will automatically call your voicemail box. Once the call is connected, follow the voicemail prompts. NOTE: If the dialpad isn't on the screen, tap the "Phone" tab at the top of the screen.

To end the call, tap, hold and drag the "Phone" icon from right to left.

Please let me know if you have any other questions. I would be happy to help provide any clarification or further details you may need. If you do not need any further help, just as a reminder before you go, please give me a quick rating at the top right. Hopefully I have earned 5 stars today! This helps me receive credit for helping you today. Have a great rest of your day!

I am very happy with my very fast response. Eric is very knowledgeable in the subject area. Thank you!

Hi John, Thank you for your expertise and, more important, for your kindness because they make me, almost, look forward to my next computer problem. After the next problem comes, I'll be delighted to correspond again with you. I'm told that I excel at programing. But system administration has never been one of my talents. So it's great to have an expert to rely on when the computer decides to stump me. God bless, Bill
